Add grid blocks

Add Grid blocks with adjustable widths. Create different layouts by reordering the blocks with the drag-and-drop handles ⋮⋮ and customize the width and height of each block.

STEPS

In your theme editor (Customize):

    Click (+) Add item to create new grid blocks.

    Click Remove block or the eye icon to delete or hide a block.

    (Optional.) Select or upload alternate Mobile image that looks best on smaller screen sizes.

  4. Use Image focal points to specify the main focus of your images. The focal point of your image will remain centered and within frame when your site adapts to different screen sizes.

    See our image guide to learn more about specifying a focal point for an image used within a section or for an uploaded image file when used anywhere on your site.

  5. Use the Height and Mobile height sliders to control the maximum height of the grid item.
